Kordi Rugs owe their character to the unique textile traditions of the Kordi subgroup from the mountainous regions of north-eastern Iran, particularly areas bordering Khorasan. This region’s cultural influences are visible in the robust textile construction and confident geometry of Kordi Persian rug designs. Unlike other Kurdish Kordi rugs woven in western Iran, north-eastern examples typically showcase a distinctive use of natural wool dyes, which foster an earthy, harmonious palette balanced with dynamic contrasts.

The handmade Kordi carpets in this collection are notable for their strong, tactile pile and the compact, resilient foundation achieved through traditional weaving techniques. Motifs often feature interlocking geometric forms, stylised medallions, and variations on tribal iconography, providing a bold visual presence without sacrificing the subtlety required for versatile placement in both contemporary and classic interiors.

Many vintage Kordi rugs show a skilled interplay of structure and motif, reflecting the adaptive skills developed by a nomadic or semi-nomadic people. These north-eastern Iranian rugs are particularly valued for their ability to combine practicality with lively artistry, making them an informed choice for buyers seeking both authenticity and durability in tribal floor coverings.
